Age 61 Prolia recommended long term

I just consulted with an Endocrinologist (actually I’ve consulted with 2. First one was useless) My scores are similar to yours and I’ll be 61 this year. I can’t tolerate biophosonates as I tried Fosomax when I had osteopenia. Then stopped it and tried better diet. It didn’t work. Anyways, this Dr said she wouldn’t do Prolia since I’m still young and once you’re on it it’s for life and talked about the rebound effects. Actually the first Endo I seen didn’t recommended Prolia either. This new Dr suggested Evenity, but she said insurance basically dictates what you can get. They don’t like recommending Evenity, Forteo or Tylmos until after you have a fracture. So ridiculous. I brought up Evista she said I could do that too but results haven’t been as good. She mentioned increase of blood clots, but since I don’t lead a sedentary lifestyle she doesn’t think it’ll be a problem. I have to get blood work and a 24 hour urine test before she decides which way to go. So I liked that she wasn’t suggesting something willy nilly without knowing what might be causing the osteoporosis.

I was just diagnosed in February and it’s been a roller coaster of emotions. I’m not a fan or roller coasters. LOL

I have never had a fracture and have had forteo and evenity. However, I was on fosomax/alendronate for 5 years before the anabolics.
